Yi Tang Yao looked into her eyes.
He coyly arched the corners of his lips, extending her right arm to grab onto her thin shoulder. A little strength, and he was able to yank the disoriented Xiao Mi into his arms.
And kissed her lips!
The second class of World Commerce has long forgotten to breathe.
Yi Tang Yao’s lips were on Xiao Mi’s, her hands supporting her head. He kissed deeply; the class could even hear their lips tangled, forcefully poring. Xiao Mi’s eyes widened in shock. For a moment there, she couldn’t make sense of what was happening. Her hands outstretched in mid-air, stiff.
His scorching, full lips stayed on her pale, cracked lips for a long time. A moan escaped. A sensual, passionate love affair unfolded in the classroom, making one blush with pounding hearts.
She closed her eyes, both hands clasped around his back. Just so she could remain in his arms, pretending nothing ever happened, like everything was perfect as it was before.
“Tomorrow, let’s date.”
She finally got back to the building.
Suddenly—
Hearing this, it was as if the floodgates in Xiao Mi’s eyes burst open. Tears gushed out in torrents down her face. She moaned softly.
She knew it, Yi wouldn’t bear to watch her sick. Every time she felt unwell, he was always very, very worried. He’ll coax medicine into her, cajole her to go to the hospital, lying on her bed to sleep beside her. Hmph, how could he bear to abandon her? Amidst the blur from her tears, she tightly grab onto the owner of the hand! This time, she won’t let him go even if she die!
No.......
It’s not him......
The manager of the dormitory, Auntie Chen, is Cheng Yuan’s aunt. She’s around fifty, very thin, with somewhat grayish hair. She’s always seen wearing untrendy old clothes, yet they were clean and fresh. She has a gentle demeanor, and treats all the girls in the dormitory well. No matter how late the girls return and knock on the door, she never found it bothersome. She’s liked by everyone, and they all call her “Auntie Chen” affectionately when they see her.
“Your fever is pretty serious. Cheng Yuan, go down to the management office and get a thermometer.”
Auntie Chen didn’t turn back as she spoke to Cheng Yuan, who was digging into a cup of instant noodles in the house.
Gusts of heat transpired through Xiao Mi’s heart. Other than the first few days in Sheng Shu, the class’ cold rejection has deeply wounded her. Even though she tried to convince herself to not get bothered by it. It’s normal for the class to dislike her actions. If she saw a girl acting so nice to a guy without reason, she would also think that the girl has ulterior motives.
Even then, she felt so lonely. There’s no one to talk to; it’s like living in an ice-cold metal tin.
Tears welled up in Xiao Mi’s eyes.
“I don’t feel like eating.”
I’ll cook a bowl of egg white in rice wine for you.” Auntie Chen placed a wringed, damp towel on her forehead.
“I’ll put more sugar, it’ll be sweet and fragrant, okay?” Auntie Chen coaxed her softly, the rims of her eyes full of gentle kindness.
Xiao Mi’s heart suddenly felt like it was being painfully squeezed.
......
He sighed. “Be good, how can you get better if you don’t eat?”
She screamed agitatedly on purpose, snickering underneath the blankets. She loved getting sick, as long as it’s not too severe, like a small flu. Sneezing, nose running, a little feverish. It looks serious, but isn’t that insufferable. Heehee, then she’ll be able to see his anxious face, pale and perplexed, as he coaxed her as if she were a princess.
“No!”
“No!”
She swallowed back a huge drop of saliva.
Heehee, I won’t give up the chance to ‘torture’ you this easily!
“Xiao Mi, act like this, and I’ll get angry!”
She stuck out her tongue. Who would believe he’ll get furious at her. Since young, he had never truly lost his temper at her. She knew, he liked her very very much, heehee, that’s why she could act so audacious now. But, she was wrong this time!
“You...... what are you....... doing”
“I also want to get sick!” His slightly infuriated looks were almost child-like. He muttered as he kissed her. “Wait till I’m sick, I’ll be stubborn like you, to let you a taste of what it’s like to be worried......”
She grumbled with a smile, and dodged. “Okay okay. You’re cruel, I didn’t even get to play to my heart’s content!”
She breathed deeply. She could smell the fragrant scent of pine on him.
“Mm?”
...... ...... ......
